Magistrate Lee-Kim upped bail to TT$600000 today with regard to seven charges of corruption against Energy Minister Eric Williams.
This weekend Justice of the Peace Ackbar Khan had revealed to the news media that bail was set at TT$350000.
Minister Williams has continued to deny all charges and says he will seek solace in God, but activist Gary Aboud of FFOS (Fishermen and Friends of the Sea) says the charges against the Minister are an embarrassment to the Nation.
Speaking on Power102 FM this afternoon on its drive-by show, Aboud said it was scandalous and embarrassing that the Minister involved in negotiating lucrative international contracts for the country's most important sector should be charged for corruption.
